On Vivian the intern’s last day, I received this page at work.
I assumed that page was from Vivian, drowning in all the tasks she needed to complete. And it was. However, that page could have been from a lot of people, because many of us are drowning in tasks, work, obligations, news, politics, self-recrimination, violence, worry, guilt, and shame.
What do you do when you’re drowning? Do you reach out, like Vivian? How do you reach out?
I don’t worry about drowning in water, even though I can’t swim. Being near water keeps me from drowning. And so does blogging and taking photos, like these:
Here’s a live version of “Drowning in a Sea of Love” with Boz Scaggs and Donald Fagen.
I hope you don’t mind drowning in a sea of gratitude from me.
